About the Texas Turkey Run (5k & 10k + 1-Mile)
The Texas Turkey Run uses the Mission Hike and Bike Trails, so the course is paved trail rather than road, with several distance options to suit whatever pace you show up with. The emphasis is genuinely on moving however you move, and the Thanksgiving-weekend timing gives the morning a holiday feel without any pressure.
Packet pickup is the evening before, on Thanksgiving Day itself, at a location to be announced. Race morning starts with a led warm-up before the gun, and a cool-down session wraps up shortly after. There are snacks, drinks, and refreshers at the finish, plus a photo area and DJ music post-race.
